My daughter started at the end of January and cannot fault any aspect of the nursery we have come across so far. The staff are so friendly and helped her settle in, as it has taken a while, and they have put mine and my husbands mind at ease every time she is at the nursery. We get up dates throughout
the day on the app with pictures that can get uploaded as well.
There has been a change of staff in the room that she has been in but have not had any issues with the change. If she has been unsettled they spend time with her and take her to do her favorite activities to help soothe her. They listen to her. And everything is always so clean.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our little one has only been in nursery for two weeks but he absolutely loves it.


What i loved is that we had 6 settling in sessions before his first proper day. So it made it easier for us to transition into this new chapter. During those sessions we sat in the reception area. We could see the little

ones being dropped off, all so excited, the team knew their names, you could see real connections are being made.


We love getting the regular updates, the team are happy to answer any questions we have. We get detailed reports on different activities & learning they do. He has such an enjoyable day that hes pretty much wiped out by 6pm.


Only two things I would like to see change is;
- more green veg, food seems to be all the sweeter veg
- reading the policies, it was the staff handbook, whereas the policies on the website are clearer & more what we need to know as parents.


Other than that, we are fully happy with this nursery. Seems to tick all the boxes.
Keep up the good work x x x

We love everything about Kiddi Caru! My daughter has always been very attached and found it really difficult leaving me at the beginning. The staff were so supportive to both of us and did everything they could to help her settle. Fast forward to now and she loves it, she's so much more confident now
and outgoing, the difference in her since she started has been amazing to watch. The outdoor space is lovely, the food is great and the children just always seem happy. My daughter loves telling me about everything she's been up to when we collect her, you can just see she's had a great time.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Kiddi Caru is a lovely nursery with friendly staff. My son is very happy and always talks about his carers and what he's done in the day. He knows everyone and they know him.
The staff really care and the love they give the children cannot be faulted. The staff are always there to support you and
help wherever they can- they are truly amazing.
The nursery has a few down sides
1.Drop off is a nightmare- not enough parking spaces and most used by staff.
2.The intercom / security system seems to either be broken totally or a total mess with parents and children being locked in or out with the alarms constantly going off.. It needs sorting.
3.The nursery odour at the end of the day can be putrid with the warm air mixed with soiled nappies- this is revolting and needs some thought to how this can be changed.
Reply from Charlie G, Nursery Support Team at Kiddi Caru Day Nursery TorquayThank you for your review of Kiddi Caru Day Nursery and Preschool in Torquay. We're very pleased to hear that your child is so happy here! Our nursery team are wonderfully kind and caring, taking the time to get to know each child individually and form meaningful relationships with them. We appreciate you taking the time to leave your honest feedback. Our car parking facilities do naturally get busy during pick up and drop off times, but we strive to keep this process running smoothly to ensure an easy transition to and from our nursery for all our families. We had a new intercom system installed in 2025. We adhere to strict safety policies and all parents need to be buzzed in to gain access to the nursery. At busy times, this noise may sound frequently but we do strive to the door manned to prevent this from happening. Please be assured that maintaining a clean and hygienic nursery environment is a top priority for us and our team work hard to maintain high standards during the day.

KC Torquay provides a warm and welcoming environment where staff are approachable, attentive, and dedicated to building positive, trusting relationships with each child.


There is a strong and consistent culture within the setting, with children gently encouraged to follow classroom expectations and

routines.


As a parent, I have developed positive relationships with the staff in my son's room and feel confident in approaching the management team whenever needed. The management team is visible and accessible on a daily basis, with an open-door approach at both drop-off and pick-up times.


Children regularly come home with artwork or occasional food treats, which is always lovely to see.


Our son has formed positive relationships within the nursery and with each of his carers. The children are read to frequently, encouraged to engage in a wide range of play-based activities, and benefit from an excellent outdoor provision. KC offers a spacious outdoor area where children can explore and

Our little girl's journey with Kiddi Caru has been absolutely amazing. Her confidence and independence have grown massively during her time there. She has formed such close bonds with her little friends and with her key workers, who have always gone above and beyond to support her.
She goes in every
day skipping and smiling, genuinely happy to be there.
The educational support is fantastic and perfectly tailored to each age group, right through to the class before starting school, preparing them so well for the next step.
We will be very sad to leave Kiddi Caru when our little girl starts school. Thank you for everything you have done - we couldn't have asked for a better start for her.

This nursery is fantastic, my child loves coming here and I love dropping her off because she is so happy! She started at just under 1 year old and the first couple of weeks were tricky as it was all new to her, but the nursery staff were so supportive. They made a real effort to help her bond, sent
me loads of pictures and updates throughout the day so I could see she was very happy once she got over me leaving. Now we are a couple of months in and she walks in by herself and gets excited in the morning when I tell her where we are going. The staff are fantastic, from nursery manager to room leaders to key workers. Thank you!

We've been with this nursery since January and it's been nothing short of outstanding. Every member of staff we've met have been so good with our lad. They know him inside and out and they're honest with us when we pick him up which my partner is over the moon with. Management are friendly and so welcoming.
The updates we receive via the app has really settled my partners nerves about leaving him. A special mention to two members of staff who have bent over backwards for our son and I can't thank them enough. I'm very very happy with the nursery and it's been a weight off of our shoulders after a not so pleasant experience elsewhere

Our son who has been here for the last 9 months since he turned one, has had a fantastic time here and loves attending. The staff are excellent, the venue is purpose-built with its own canteen, and food choices go down very well. The app keeps us updated with what he's been doing, what and how much
he's eaten, and developmental progress along with photos of activities the class has been doing. You really feel informed.
The staff are key and in our sons class they are wonderful, friendly, caring and great at their jobs, we're very happy we choose here.

Highly recommend Kiddi Caru!
I was so nervous thinking about returning to work after maternity and looked at a couple of childminders and nurseries. Kiddi Caru was recommended to me by one of my friends and as soon as I had a visit, I knew it was the best place for our daughter.
It's such a lovely,
safe, and clean environment.
Everyone is so warm and friendly which made me feel at ease right away as you feel they really do care about your child.
We had several settling sessions, building up to a full day. Our daughter took to it so fast, and I was relieved to be able to see her settle in as they kept us in the loop with photos and updates.
I feel completely confident that our daughter is in the best hands, developing so many skills and enjoying nursery which has made the transition back into work that bit easier for me.
Obviously its difficult being away from her, but I know she is having the best time at Kiddi Caru and is above all, safe and happy!
Thank you all so much.

Our daughter has been attending Kiddi Caru since she was 9 months old, we transferred to the Torquay setting when she was 1 year old because we moved house. She is now 2 years old and is thriving, the nursery staff are all so lovely and good with her and she adores them in return. Whilst we still have
a few tears at drop-off, she never wants to leave at the end of the day.

We have been delighted with our choice of nursery. Everyone who looks after our baby has been simply brilliant. She has settled in so quickly, she smiles when walking up to the nursery and is always happy playing when I pick her up, not wanting to come home!
We have had such clear communication from
everyone about how she is doing and all her goings on, we feel so comfortable leaving her with them. Our baby has definitely made progress since being here also. We have really appreciated all the love and care the team has shown both our baby and us, as two nervous, first-time parents! The environment always feels super clean, well-maintained and resourced. All the staff from reception and across the building are kind, attentive, and welcoming. We have recommended you to all our local friends with young babies and a few are now on your waiting list.

(1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.925
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 96 number of registered child places is 19.2. 17 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.2 = 0.885
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
